I know that their choices are restricted and so their options are not open, however, I do know that within all religions there is a strain of liberation, justice and equality that women can appeal in order to speak up for their God-given dignity.

I mean why would any woman want to spend one minute more dwelling on Gen 3:16 then they have to. Seriously, if women are religious it is because it is something they have learned to accept or endure - like that original curse which visits them each 28 days.

The simple fact that your missing is that many women decide to focus on their 'maternal instincts.' True some of the 'instincts' are really culturally conditioned, but there is much to say about the psychological and physiological make up of women. One reason men are into 'scholarship' is because it corresponds to ego, something that women naturally have less of a problem with. Men publish and publish and publish with the motivation of pride and respect. Everyone needs to stop crying victim and wake up and smell the roses.
